How many plain candy will fit in a 36 oz water jug?

It's impossible to say exactly how many plain candies will fit in a 36 oz water jug without knowing more information. Here's why:

* Candy Size and Shape: Candies come in many different sizes and shapes (round, square, irregular). Smaller candies will fit more than larger ones.

* Packing Density: How tightly you pack the candies will affect how many fit. If you just dump them in, there will be lots of air gaps. If you try to pack them tightly, you can fit more.

* Candy Type: Hard candies pack differently than chewy candies or gummies.

To get a rough estimate:

1. Measure the volume of the jug: This will give you a starting point for how much space you have.

2. Estimate the volume of a single candy: Take a few sample candies and measure their dimensions. Calculate their approximate volume.

3. Divide the jug's volume by the candy's volume: This will give you a very rough estimate of how many candies might fit.

Important Note: This estimate will be very inaccurate, especially since you can't account for the air gaps between candies. It's best to experiment to see how many fit!
